Prestbury is a largely residential ward to the north of Cheltenham town centre in Gloucestershire, England, centred on the old village with its church and village green. The area is marked by Georgian and Victorian houses, conservation-designated streets and proximity to Cheltenham Racecourse, so it combines a distinctly village feel with easy access to town amenities.
Historically medieval in origin, Prestbury has retained a mix of independent shops, pubs and community groups and tends to be seen as an affluent, commuter-friendly neighbourhood with higher-than-average property values. The ward’s social life is gently shaped by local events, the raceweek influx and active residents’ associations rather than large commercial or industrial activity.
